The R&M Jack Back Side-to-Side relocates an electric or manual trailer jack back to a steel platform which slides between nylon surfaces in a steel frame shackled to the tongue. The tongue glides smoothly and easily in either direction. Your tailgate can fully, open, your truck bed or rear compartment is fully accessible, and your tailgate is fully protected from tailgate-hits-jack damage.
End the frustration of repeatedly backing in and out to get the ball precisely positioned under the hitch with this refined, mechanically elegant solution to an age-old problem!
Designed to live outside, unprotected year-round in the most extreme environments - January in Alaska, July in Arizona. The jack mounting angle is infinitely adjustable, so can always face your direction of choice.
The stainless steel lead screw that moves the tongue back and forth has a nut affixed to one end that fits the custom crank or a standard socket or wrench. The lead screw can be installed in front or in back of the jack, with the nut on the left or right side, four possible positions, and can be re-positioned without de-installing the Side-to-Side or jack.
Available in two models, both powder coated:
▶︎ $399 - Side-to-Side includes (2) 24" mounting bars, (2) 5" X 9" X 3/16" End Plates with mounting holes, and moves the jack back from 8 to 14 inches from stock.
